A bomb shattered glass and damaged a wall in Indonesia's Parliament building on Monday, just days after police arrested nine Islamic militants suspected of planning fresh terror strikes.
No one was injured in the blast, which came as the legislature was closed for the summer recess. It was the latest in a series of small bombings in the world's most populous Muslim nation.
No group claimed responsibility, but police said the two main suspects were Jemaah Islamiyah, the regional terror group blamed for last year's Bali bombings that killed 202 people, and rebels fighting for an independent state in the western province of Aceh.
The early morning explosion Monday damaged a wall of a building at the complex in central Jakarta and smashed several windows, witnesses said.
